Abstract

India is the fastest growing mobile subscribers market in the world with more than 850 million subscribers. Mobile phones have become an important component in Indian household. m-Governance is envisaged to propel the functioning of the government, at the next higher level. In this paper, we analyze the true potential of m-Governance in the Indian scene. Also, we examine the areas where the e-Governance services can be made available through wireless and mobile technologies. The paper also rivets on M-Health as well studies some successful m-Governance projects implemented in other countries, and examines the M-PESA mobile commerce project in Kenya.
